Description

This Curried Cauliflower Soup is ready in just 30 minutes and is packed full of flavour!


Ingredients

Units
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 3 shallots, chopped (or substitute 1 medium onion, chopped)
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets (stems removed)
  • 4-5 tsp Madras curry powder
  • 1 litre vegetable broth
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (from a can)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and garlic, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Stir in the cauliflower florets and curry powder. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring often, until the spices are fragrant.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender (check with a fork).
  4. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until creamy and smooth. (Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in small batches to a regular blender, blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.)
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve warm, topped with roasted chickpeas, cilantro, or a drizzle of coconut milk if desired.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest texture.
  • Blend with an immersion blender, or cool slightly and blend in batches.
  • Taste before serving and adjust with more curry or salt if needed.
  • Garnish with roasted chickpeas, coconut milk drizzle, or fresh cilantro.
